The Car in Front of Me Lyrics
Homecoming parade
You were the queen
I was riding right behind you
With the rest of the team
Saw my ring on your finger
As you waved to the crowd
I didn't know a second-stringer
Could ever be so proud
The car in front of me
Was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
On Wednesday nights
We'd meet at church
You'd bring the kids
And I'd come straight from work
Going home I'd read their lips
Through the window of your van
As they sang "Jesus loves me"
I thought "God, I'm a lucky man"
The car in front of me
Was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
Even after what the doctor said
You were strong, and you believed
And you held us all together
Through one more Spring
Their little hands
Held on to mine
As we sat in that back seat
With tears in our eyes
A long line of headlights
Strangers stopped along the road
No, Monday wasn't meant
For wearing Sunday clothes
The car in front of me
Was carrying
What I loved more than anything
Oh, my sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
You were the queen
I was riding right behind you
With the rest of the team
Saw my ring on your finger
As you waved to the crowd
I didn't know a second-stringer
Could ever be so proud
Was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
We'd meet at church
You'd bring the kids
And I'd come straight from work
Going home I'd read their lips
Through the window of your van
As they sang "Jesus loves me"
I thought "God, I'm a lucky man"
Was carrying
What I loved more than anything
My sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
You were strong, and you believed
And you held us all together
Through one more Spring
Held on to mine
As we sat in that back seat
With tears in our eyes
A long line of headlights
Strangers stopped along the road
No, Monday wasn't meant
For wearing Sunday clothes
Was carrying
What I loved more than anything
Oh, my sweetest dream
Was in the car in front of me
This is really a moving song....makes me wanna cry.
this really makes me think about my grandma that passed a year ago. my grandpa and his 6 kids sat in the seats cryin. i sat there not believing that she passed, but i didn't cry. i think holding in those emotions were bad. i love this song even if it's truly a sad song. i love it and hopefully others can as well!:)
